IndieLand is a live streaming charity event centered around showcasing indie games. Co-founded by YouTube personality Jirard Khalil – known as The Completionist – in 2018, the event is a fundraiser under the Open Hand Foundation charity, aimed at raising funds for dementia research. The event features game developers alongside gaming personalities and celebrities.
Following the 2023 iteration, the event was discovered to have not donated any of the money raised since its inception, despite claims from Khalil that the event's funds would go towards various dementia research charities. Khalil responded to the situation by admitting that the funds were not donated towards the charities, and claimed that IndieLand would remove the charity aspect.
